When I first watched "Truman's World", I didn't fully understand it, I didn't understand why the heavy rain only drenched Truman alone, I didn't understand the advertising clips that suddenly appeared, and I didn't understand why Meilu and her colleagues were so fake when they did surgery.
It turns out that there is a secret at the beginning, which is a reality show, starring Truman, the only unsuspecting actor, for everyone to enjoy his life.
Director Kisto said: "We watched the play, tired of the hypocritical expressions, tired of the tricks. Truman's world... It can be said that it is false, but Truman himself is not false at all. This show has no script, no scene, not necessarily a masterpiece, but if it is fake, it is a true record of a person's life. ”
Truman seemed to be very happy, with a stable job and a beautiful wife. Life on the island is peaceful and harmonious, the neighbors are friendly, and every day is so beautiful.
The wife is everywhere in the Amway advertisement, Truman this humble actually did not find out, these thirty years are blindfolded?
Truman had a first love, and the kind girl Shivia told him: "Everyone knows everything about you, everyone is pretending!" Do you understand? My name is not Roland, my name is Shivia. You're going to run away, you're going to get out and find me. ”
Shivia was forcibly taken away by people who claimed to be her father, and Truman never saw her again, but secretly missed her. Of course, what he thought was "stealing" was all in the eyes of the world.
When did you find out that something was wrong?
The father who had drowned appeared again, the dense rain that chased Truman, the so-called radio failure that reported Truman's whereabouts? And the wife's overlapping fingers in the wedding photo! (Meaning that the marriage vows are not counted)
Life tore apart the truth little by little, and Truman did not play cards according to common sense, disrupting the rhythm of other group performances. There used to be a living wall inside the elevator, and people's panicked looks were quite ridiculous.
Truman's heart was completely confused, and he confided in his best friend Malone, who was also sincere in his comforting words.
"When you were seven years old, we were already old friends, reading exams, you copied me, I copied you, you and I answered exactly the same, I always felt safe. Because whether we answer correctly or incorrectly, we can be right and wrong together... You and I are like brothers. ”
"But I'm willing to put a knife in both ribs for you friend, and I won't do anything —to deceive you."
When Malone said not to deceive Truman, those words were a bit unspeakable. I was moved by their "ability to be right and wrong together" and angry at Malone's lies.
The marriage looks very happy and happy, who knows the reluctance in Meilu's heart? She does not love Truman, but she is an actress and must play Truman's wife. The people who watch the play, the people who make the play, who is more free than whom! Can't fall in love with people who love each other, can't break up with people who hate each other, and Meilu is also on the verge of collapse.
The closest people, one is a wife, one is a brother, huh!
Mei Lu watched Truman search for the truth little by little, and she couldn't stand it anymore.
The only one willing to tell him the truth was Shivia, who told him to escape.
Only sincerity is worthy of sincerity, and Truman can never forget her. She couldn't get in, he couldn't get out.
Truman wanted to flee, he overcame his fear and drove away, and all the people on Taoyuan Island were looking for him. In order to satisfy the voyeurism of human nature, people did not want him to leave.
In order to find him, the moon emitted a strong light, the sunrise flirted with the night, it turned out that everything was controlled by man, and the sunrise and moonset were always false.
On the surface of the sea, a man-made storm tried to stop him from leaving.
He was a ratings guarantee, and the director ignored his life and death, letting the storm blow over him and blow him into the sea. Truman: "What magic weapon do you have?" You want to stop me, only kill me. ”
For the sake of freedom, why die.
Everything was calm, and Truman seemed to see the end of the sea. From hope to despair, from despair to determination. At the end of the sea is a wall, so what, nothing can stop a heart that longs for freedom.
Kisto said to Truman, "The outside world is as false as the world I gave you, the same lies, the same fraud, but in my world you have nothing to fear, I know yourself better than you do." ”
Perhaps, for a moment, you touched the world. However, everything will return to calm. You're just a show, you're just talking about after dinner.
In the play, Kisto said emotionally: "I have seen your whole life, when you were born, I was watching you; when you learned to walk, I was looking at you; you were enrolled in school, I was watching you; and the scene where you lost your first tooth, you can't leave, Truman." You belong here, come with me. ”
I know it's not a horror movie, but I feel terrible seeing it here. His every word and deed, every move, is in the eyes of the whole world, his world is all deception, a person has supported a crew, and there is no performance fee. Kisto is proud that this is a popular show.
The revenue of the show is equivalent to the annual output of a small country, and Keith Said said that the production also needs the manpower of a country. Such a big move is only for fame or profit.
For the sake of freedom, Truman can be the enemy of this false world, and the best elegant farewell is like this.
I used to think the ending was a failure, but I thought it was ironic when I watched it again. You're really just a show, not as important as you think, and without you, it's a big deal to watch other shows. Just other programs, will there be another "Truman"? Or is it you?
